Holocaust Museum Houston
This museum holds a special place in the bride’s heart. It’s a space for remembrance, reflection, and learning, honoring the stories of those who lived through the Holocaust. Visitors are invited to explore powerful exhibits and personal narratives that inspire empathy, resilience, and a commitment to standing against injustice.
Evelyn's Park
When the landmark Teas Nursery closed - it was the very first business of Bellaire - the bride's grandfather and great uncle seized the opportunity to preserve this unique piece of their community. They purchased and gifted the five-acre site to the city of Bellaire under one condition: that it be used as parkland and that it be named in honor of their mother, Evelyn. Evelyn, Lauren's great-grandmother, was a longtime Bellaire resident and philanthropist who shared the Teas family's love for the outdoors. If you visit Evelyn's Park, you can expect a quaint cafe in the original home of the Teas family, a wide-open green space, structures for kids to play, beautiful sculptures, and a butterfly garden.
